jayfurrI've made up my mind -- not that anyone was waiting for the news.
I'm giving up cheese and nuts for Lent. I can eat virtually unlimited amounts of both, if they're placed in front of me. Past experience shows that I have virtually no self control if you put a bag of cashews and almonds within my reach. Even if I'm on a diet. At times, I can be the same way where cheese is concerned. What's one more slice?
Well, time to learn some self control. No cheese and no nuts for me throughout Lent. Yes, I know nuts theoretically have "healthy fat" -- my Livestrong.com newsletter yesterday led off with an article about that very point. But "healthy fat" from nuts isn't much consolation when you wake up in the morning and soberly realize that you just ate 3500 calories' worth of nuts in a nocturnal binge.
Peace, y'all.
